For me IOS 15 does not work, and every option mentioned (background data/refresh) in this thread is set as suggested. My wife is still on IOS 14, and it works for her. ---

It seems to work that way, but it isnt after all. I have to open the Homey app to update my location. So no solution. My wifes iphone on iOS 14 has no problems. ---

For the past four days it has been working correctly on my phone. I don’t know why, I didn’t change a thing. ---

I have been away from home twice today, and I just realized that it worked the first time (with IOS 15) but not the second time. So now, I would say that it works with IOS 15 - yet highly unreliable 🙄 ---

Strange. No problem here. I used iOS 15 beta and iOS15 without problems with Homey location ---

An FB group member solved it by disallowing the Homey phone app “allow location access”, and next, allowing location access again. ---

It seems to work now for me. What I did was delete all users including the main one (temporarily making someone else owner) and add the users again. I do not know for sure if this did the trick or not. ---

Same problem here, With an iphone 12pro and iOS 15. Before the update it worked fine for years. ---

Sorry I haven’t followed the whole thread incase anyone has already mentioned this. I’ve had intermittent issues. One thing I have observed is when ever it’s lost track of my position/location , or it doesn’t register that I left my house is if I restart the Homey APP on my iPhone the the system will then update and recognises where I am… ---

I made a workaround with the homey app “lokatie en aanwezigheid”. That works! ---

This worked for me. Edit: Today it doesnt work. Only update location after opening the Homey app 😢 ---

For me the same. Homey location does not work anymore. For now I have created 2 virtual buttons in Homey. They will be triggered by the Geofence of HomeKit. This temporally solution works. I hope Athom will have an update of the app available soon. ---

I had to do the trick again indeed, because it was again not working. I think it now stopped working after a homey update. Now it works again. I also needed to “update” the flows in which family members were in the equation. I hope it will get more stable. ---

Same here, updated to iOS 15. Both the iPhones are not tracked anymore by homey. I tried turning off and on the location permissions for Homey, tried to turn it off and on in settings and in the homey app. Restarts won’t help either. ---

Here same problem. Also Nuki doesn’t respond to Geo Location since IOS15 ---

Same problem here. Since iOS15, it works for 1 or 2 days. Then Homey doesn’t see me leaving the house anymore. Only option is to delete the Homey app and install it again. It will then work again for 1-2 days and then stop. But obviously that’s not a workable solution for the long term… ---

We (_me and my wife, iPhone X and iPhone 8_) have exactly the same issues after updating to iOS 15. **Return+leave at the same moment** or **Tracking only after opening the Homey App** Very disappointing, since I have several flows based on “When the first person returns/leave home…” 🤔 ---

A new Homey app is available in the Apple App Store for download, version 6.9.2. I have been using this version via TestFlight for several weeks and I have had no problems after iOS 15 update. ---

I have installed the niew app V6.9.2.823. The update does not solve the problem. If you close the app, so it is not running in the background, home/away does not work. ---

New update didn’t for work me either in the beginning, but did after turning on/off location in both Homey as iOS settings. Changing this didn’t help previously, but does with the new app. For me at least… [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-location-not-working-after-update-iphone-tot-ios-15/52088.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-location-not-working-after-update-iphone-tot-ios-15/52088.md?page=3)
